Gmail for Android adds confidential mode

Implementing confidential mode is a fairly easy process that's similar across both Android and iOS. As the name suggests, the new feature allows you to send and receive "confidential" emails - so what does that mean? One new feature just went live as Google has turned on their confidential mode for Gmail. Senders can also set emails to expire after a certain amount of time, and, in cases where extra security is necessary, lock a message with an SMS code.

This way you will be able to configure your email to the Confidential Mode. You can even set a password for the emails you send. Also, recipients of the confidential message will have numerous options that might compromise it disabled, so they won't be able to forward, copy, print, or download the message.

Should one need to revoke access early, a user can find the email in their sent folder and click on the remove access option. Many new features were added that built on work Google had done with other applications and were finally bringing over to the email platform.

Google also notes that although confidential mode helps prevent the confidential email's recipients from accidentally sharing your email, it doesn't prevent them from taking screenshots or photos of the users messages and attachments. Confidential mode is rolling out to mobile devices today, so be sure to keep an eye out for it.
